WebdriverIO Automation FAQs

Question 1

How does it integrate with GitHub Copilot Agent?

Accepted Answer

It integrates seamlessly by exposing WebdriverIO tools to GitHub Copilot Agent (in Agent Mode). This allows the agent to communicate with the local MCP server, utilize the defined tools, and dynamically interact with browsers based on your commands.

Question 2

Is prior WebdriverIO coding knowledge required to use this tool?

Accepted Answer

While it leverages WebdriverIO, the primary interaction is through plain English test scenarios via GitHub Copilot Agent. This significantly lowers the barrier to entry, making it accessible even for users without extensive WebdriverIO coding expertise for test creation.

Question 3

What is WebdriverIO Automation?

Accepted Answer

WebdriverIO Automation is an MCP server that enables LLM-powered QA by allowing GitHub Copilot Agent to automate WebdriverIO browser-based testing. It interprets plain English test scenarios and performs real-time UI testing.

Question 4

What kind of test scenarios can I automate?

Accepted Answer

You can automate various browser interactions, including opening and closing browsers, navigating to URLs, clicking elements, setting input values, retrieving text, and checking element visibility, all using simple plain English descriptions.

Question 5

Can it auto-generate WebdriverIO test code?

Accepted Answer

Yes, a core feature is its ability to not only perform real-time browser UI testing but also to auto-generate reusable WebdriverIO test code based on the plain English scenarios you provide to the Copilot Agent.
